Trump supporter melts down in self-pitying op-ed: 'White men are the most discriminated against grou

[Initech]

The Tennessean has published an editorial by a Trump supporter named Ryan Moore who claims white men who support the president are “the most discriminated against group of people” living in the United States today.

At the start of his editorial, Moore bitterly complains that anonymous people on social media websites have said mean things about him when they see a photo of him in his “Make America Great Again” hat.

“Many people have wished me dead, made threats and often call me racist simply because I support the wall and the President of the United States,” he writes.

Moore then pivots to what he sees as the single biggest problem in America today: Racial injustice directed against white men.

“White men are the most hated and discriminated against group of people in the United States now,” he writes. “If you don’t believe that, you simply aren’t paying attention or looking at it objectively.”

In reality, statistics compiled by American law enforcement officials show that hate crimes targeting both black Americans and Jews in 2017 both outnumbered the total number of hate crimes that targeted white people, despite the fact that there are vastly more white people as a percentage of the population than there are blacks and Jews.

I am a white male and I counter this with:

[mnhtnbb]

1. He's really whining about the loss of white male privilege and hasn't figured it out.

He expects special treatment because of his(undoubtedly little) white ding dong. Cry me a river.

[GaYellowDawg]

23. You know, I really don't like this kind of comment.

Not the part about loss of white male privilege. I completely agree with that. But the whole tiny white dick thing is such a stupid thing to say. If you mentioned someone expecting special treatment because of his (undoubtedly giant) black ding dong, or how she expects special treatment because of her (undoubtedly giant) white hoo hah, you'd get righteously slapped down. So I'm alerting on this.

[virgogal]

28. That's really nasty.

[paleotn]

49. It would be an interesting research project.

If support of shitler correlates with reduced...well...you know. It might put this whole business to rest. My money is on a strong inverse relationship.

[ZZenith]

2. Poor little snowflake.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. They're So Afraid Of So Many Things

That anthem they're so worried about needs an edit to remove "home of the brave" when they sing it.

[ZZenith]

10. Their amygdalae are all out of whack.

Poor creatures.

[Initech]

14. Yup and he is definitely a snowflake!

He should know that there are no safe spaces in the real world. Suck it up, buttercup!

[oasis]

3. His hat should read: Make America White Again. nt

[Brawndo]

5. Correction: White men who support tRump

deserve to be the most discriminated against group in the country. As a white male, I look forward to doing my part to discriminate against them for the rest of my life. They think its bad now, just wait, racist traitors one and all.

[uponit7771]

6. +1, if a person supports an openly racist person like Trump what do they expect ?!?! I'm asking ...

... friends in management and HR what if a supervisor in their company was an open Trump supporter ?!

Wouldn't they be open to hostile work environment if a racial minority said they felt uncomfortable because a person supported trump?

Seems like people who do support Red Don should've thought about the consequences of supporting openly racist people

[Brawndo]

9. Thinking isn't their strong suit

I had a coworker actually state the same thing as is in the OP. First, I literally laughed at him to his face, next I metaphorically bit his head off with a diatribe of just how easy life in America is for white men. It has never been mentioned since. Also, I find it deliciously ironic that the Magats who wore "Fuck you feelings" shirts are now whining about people being mean to them. Stupid SHOULD hurt.

[uponit7771]

22. yep, sounds like they get into an echo chamber and don't check their thinking

[erronis]

33. +1 - with you on that!

[FiveGoodMen]

51. +2 Just exactly!

[Ohiogal]

7. When you're accustomed to privilege

equality seems like oppression.

[Kurt V.]

27. this.

[Blue Owl]

8. A sickening level of unawareness

[JHB]

11. Professional calmly points out the cruelty inflicted against white male Trump supporters

Volume warning.

[NickB79]

12. When was the last time a straight white conservative man was lynched?

I'll wait.

[Vinca]

13. I hate to break it to the guy, but it's got nothing to do with him being white and male.

It's got everything to do with the fact he's a bloody moron.

[safeinOhio]

15. He can end it in a second.

Wear an Obama shirt.

[Initech]

16. Or shut the fuck up. That works!

[Gothmog]

17. Boo Hoo

[3catwoman3]

25. You forgot the middle part -

- it's boo-fucking-hoo!

[sinkingfeeling]

18. I'm confused. Which is the most discriminated against group, Christians or white men?

[GaYellowDawg]

24. LOL... you have to combine them!

It's Christian white men that have it the worst!

[2naSalit]

19. I had to click on this post just to say...

[Initech]

20. I'll add a few more!

And:



And:

[Progressive dog]

21. Trump supporters should be discriminated against

but they're not. They advertise the love they hold for that psychopath by wearing the MAGA hats.

[OhZone]

26. Crybaby snowflakes

They complain because they can't openly hate women and minorities without being called out once in a while.

How about not hating in the first place!?

[RAB910]

29. I clicked through to the original letter

This man suffers from some serious cognitive disconnect

" I believe in being respectful to everyone whether I agree or disagree with their politics and opinions."

That is from his letter to the editor. I briefly scanned his Twitter and it wasn't over rude or nasty (he even is big into animal rescue)


The only problem is he supports are an utter monster. A racist, who stands for everything this man CLAIMS to oppose (at least when it happens to him). So it seems he likes his racism and horrible deeds against his fellow citizens via proxy

[Mabel]

30. I believe

the greedy 1% are feeding this fire, deflecting from the real issue. Keep the peons fighting among themselves so no one notices the super rich picking everyone's pockets.

[Kurt V.]

31. my white male peers are so fragile and i tell them this all the time. (obviously some, not all)

[Progressive Jones]

32. Oh, Please! White Man Checking In. Listen Up.

I am a white male. 60 years old. Blue collar worker/semi-pro musician. Lifelong Progressive.
As far as I know, the only people who have ever discriminated against me in my entire life have been
wealthy and/or powerful white males.

[dlk]

34. This Guy Sounds Like a Selfish Whiner

How truly awful this crybaby may have to share influence and power with others. Boo hoo!

[muriel_volestrangler]

35. Neither whiteness nor maleness are caused by wearing a MAGA cap

Chuck Schumer is a white male. George Clooney is a white male. Bernie Sanders is a white male. Stephen Colbert is a white male.

[Initech]

36. Instead wearing a MAGA cap turns you into an insufferable asshole.

And that transcends being white and male!

[relayerbob]

37. IF that exists ...

then it would be due to whiny little assholes like him

[aggiesal]

38. I believe we discriminate against anyone that wears that stupid hat ...

You get everything you have coming to you wearing that MAGAt hat.

"... call me racist simply because I support the wall and the President of the United States,”

Hmmm, that's because you are a racist.
Wake up, IDIOT!

[marmar]

39. Maybe he should reflect for a minute on the underlying message....

... of a MAGA hat.

[muntrv]

40. Ryan Moore is still angry that Lincoln won in 1860.

[sharedvalues]

41. He says this because Fox and Limbaugh tell him that.

If you’re a white person in a red area, you may not ha e personal experience, and rightwing media fills your head with lies.

He may also watch Prager “U” videos, funded by the Wilks brothers to brainwash white kids.

[Brawndo]

44. Don't absolve willful ignorance

I've never seen a small rural town that didn't have a library. They choose propaganda, no one forces them to consume only right-wing hate media. There are plenty of reasons to judge that choice harshly but perhaps the worst thing they are guilty of is being intellectually incurious. Democracy can only function with an informed electorate and they are severely shirking that duty as citizens.

[sharedvalues]

45. Propaganda works. But I don't absolve him.

I certainly blame him.
But if billionaires didn’t fund rightwing media, and we had a Fairness Doctrine for radio, I’d bet you $10 this guy wouldn’t believe that white people are discriminated against.

He chooses what news to consume, but the lying rightwing press is also at fault. We don’t hold the propagandists NEARLY responsible enough.

[Brawndo]

46. I would never bet against sheep being easy to lead.

There's plenty of blame to go around, the propagandists will have their reckoning too. Good point on the Fairness Doctrine, fully support re-instituting that.

[sharedvalues]

47. +1

[cheezmaka]

42. When was the last time a conservative white man was pulled over by the cops for NO apparent reason?

I'll wait

[Hassler]

43. From one white guy to another, thoughts and prayers, snowflake.

[Garrett78]

48. Some seem to think winning people like him over is the key to winning in 2020.

And they're just as delusional as Ryan Moore.

[Shrike47]

50. He should tell that to the mamas of the dead black boys all over this country.

Son, people who supported Hitler were racists. No need to inquire about their individual views and philosophy. Same thing here, you are a racist.

[struggle4progress]

52. Won't somebody think of how the poor white billionaires suffer?

[CousinIT]

53. Duplicate...

54. To understand the plight of the white man in today's PC America,

you have to walk a mile in his shoes.

55. When the struggle is real in Whole Foods...

Let my people go



Hey, I took a shot at it.
